Inheritance is a mechanism that enables one class to inherit behavior and attributes of another class

Inheritance concepts

• Inheritance lets you create a new class based on an existing class. The new class inherits the fields, constructors, and methods of the existing class.
• A class that inherits from an existing class is called a derived class, child class, or subclass.
• A class that another class inherits is called a base class, parent class, or superclass.
• A subclass can extend the superclass by adding new fields, constructors, and methods to the superclass.
• A subclass can override a method from the superclass with its own version of the method.
